I know that this is a troll response by pretty much everyone, but now I know why people call Smash a party game.
I can't speak for Melee, but as my first Smash, I can't imagine why so many butthurt fanboys tout this series as this great, shining example of a tournament fighter. The moveset is simplistic and the items add fun and variety to the game. I mean Melee is mostly competitive due to breaking the game with unintended tricks, so like... why hold Smash to a high, hardcore standard when it's just a fun little thing about Nintendo characters beating each other up?
I now understand Smash fanboys even less after playing this game, and I dislike them much, much more.
Eh Im enjoying it for what it is.
Nice departure from Street Fighter and Tekken 7. ---
